Yes because Trump was the one that released the bird flu that wiped out the American chicken population right before he took office...
Like there are so many valid reasons to call out Trump, but this one is stupid. Sometimes I swear y'all just like taking the bait.
Trump in a grocery store in August 2024:
He owns it. Whether he actually had any power to affect this is not our problem.
Trump says a ton of shit he either never has any intent to follow through on or just to get under the skin of some people.
Anyone with half a brain knew he wasnt the cause or going to immediately fix the problem that started before he took office.
But the far right maga ballsacks garglers will eat it up and believe everything he says. But also so does the left apparently. It's literally a free win for Him every single time he says shit like this. His base gets happy. His haters get distracted. He gets to do other shit while y'all argue under every post about it.
Meanwhile anyone with a fuckin brain knew he didn't cause the egg shortage and he certainly wasn't going to be able to fix it right away.
Stop falling for his bait. Y'all do it so goddamn often. You guys even talk about how you get stuck in a smoke screen. Or how they "flood the zone" and yet here you all are falling into that same goddamn trap again.
This isn't people falling for Trump's bait. This is people hitting back at Trump's popularity, which he does care about. They're pinning this failure to him. Sticking to one point which particularly impacted voters is a good strategy.
You're making the same classic mistake that most people make. It's not what attention you give them. It's any attention you give them.
Calling him out and agreeing with him may as well be the same thing to him. Either way he's on your mind.
If I could snap my fingers and tomorrow every single person alive ignored him entirely he would probably spiral within a few days.
He craves attention regardless of what kind it is. Y'all keep giving it to him.
I feel like the egg/grocery thing is more targeting the people that voted for him with grocery prices as the reason which is IMO a dumb reason to vote for anyone particularly with all the bigger problems right now
